Lyrically Speaking - 2/26/14

Posted: Wed Feb 26, 2014 7:43 am
by Kanye West
It isn't easy being as fucking famous as I am. Not everyone can get away with smoking weed whenever they want, naming your kid something totally fucked up, or barging up on stage and bitchslap Taylor Swift. And Kim doesn't let just any ghetto rat pound her big, juicy ass. But sometimes the bad shit kinda fucks everything up... like having people from TMZ hiding in my jacuzzi, having to put up with being a Merry Man on this piece of shit message board, and having people write songs about you. Fuck that! If I wanna be sunged about, I'll do it my own damn self! Here's a dozen... no, wait, 12 songs that put a famous dude in the title. Lucky for them, nobody put Kanye's name in a song yet, or I'dda never let them finish before I busted their gold teeth out of their fucking skull...

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...


1. Woo-hoo, and you know I'm yours
Woo-hoo, and I know you're mine
Woo-hoo, and that's for all time

2. Her hair is Harlow gold
Her lips sweet surprise
Her hands are never cold

3. If he was from Venus, would he feed us with a spoon?
If he was from Mars, wouldnt that be cool
Standing right on campus, would he stamp us in a pile?
Hangin' down in Memphis all the while

4. It's Sunday night, I am curled up in my room
The TV light fills up my heart like a balloon
I hold it in as best I can
I know I'm just another fan
But I can't help feeling I could love this secret agent man

5. Beyond the suns that guard this roof,
Beyond your flowers of flaming truths,
Beyond your latest ad campaigns,
An old man sits collecting stamps
In a room all filled with Chinese lamps.
He saves what others throw away.
He says that he'll be rich some day

6. We're getting safer cars
Rocket ships to Mars
From men who'd sell us out
To get themselves a piece of power

7. I`m in heaven, I`m in heaven
I`m in heaven, when you smile
When you smile, when you smile
When you smile

8. I ain`t happy, I`m feeling glad
I got sunshine, in a bag
I`m useless,but not for long
The future is coming on

9. It's a matter of instinct
It's a matter of conditioning
It's a matter of fact
You can call me Pavlov's dog

10. Born on a mountain in Tennessee
Greenest state in the land of the free
Raised in the woods so's he knew every tree
He killed him a b'ar when he was only three

11. You said the way my blue eyes shined,
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said: "That's a lie"
Just a boy in a Chevy truck,
That had a tendency of gettin' stuck,
On backroads at night

12. You think you're so bad
Drive the women folk wild
Shoot 'em all down
With the flash of your pearly smile
Honey, but you met
Your match tonight, oh, that's right


Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that contains a non-fictional famous person's first and last name in the title.

5 Point Bonus: What popular classic sitcom was the inspiration for the music video of Song #1?

It isn't easy being as fucking famous as I am. Not everyone can get away with smoking weed whenever they want, naming your kid something totally fucked up, or barging up on stage and bitchslap Taylor Swift. And Kim doesn't let just any ghetto rat pound her big, juicy ass. But sometimes the bad shit kinda fucks everything up... like having people from TMZ hiding in my jacuzzi, having to put up with being a Merry Man on this piece of shit message board, and having people write songs about you. Fuck that! If I wanna be sunged about, I'll do it my own damn self! Here's a dozen... no, wait, 12 songs that put a famous dude in the title. Lucky for them, nobody put Kanye's name in a song yet, or I'dda never let them finish before I busted their gold teeth out of their fucking skull...

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...


1. Woo-hoo, and you know I'm yours
Woo-hoo, and I know you're mine
Woo-hoo, and that's for all time

"Buddy Holly" - Weezer

2. Her hair is Harlow gold
Her lips sweet surprise
Her hands are never cold

"Bette Davis Eyes" - Kim Carnes

3. If he was from Venus, would he feed us with a spoon?
If he was from Mars, wouldnt that be cool
Standing right on campus, would he stamp us in a pile?
Hangin' down in Memphis all the while

"Buddy Holly" - Weezer

4. It's Sunday night, I am curled up in my room
The TV light fills up my heart like a balloon
I hold it in as best I can
I know I'm just another fan
But I can't help feeling I could love this secret agent man

"Buddy Holly" - Weezer

5. Beyond the suns that guard this roof,
Beyond your flowers of flaming truths,
Beyond your latest ad campaigns,
An old man sits collecting stamps
In a room all filled with Chinese lamps.
He saves what others throw away.
He says that he'll be rich some day

"Buddy Holly" - Weezer

6. We're getting safer cars
Rocket ships to Mars
From men who'd sell us out
To get themselves a piece of power

"Buddy Holly" - Weezer

7. I`m in heaven, I`m in heaven
I`m in heaven, when you smile
When you smile, when you smile
When you smile

"Buddy Holly" - Weezer

8. I ain`t happy, I`m feeling glad
I got sunshine, in a bag
I`m useless,but not for long
The future is coming on

"Tim McGraw" - Taylor Swift

9. It's a matter of instinct
It's a matter of conditioning
It's a matter of fact
You can call me Pavlov's dog

"Buddy Holly" - Weezer

10. Born on a mountain in Tennessee
Greenest state in the land of the free
Raised in the woods so's he knew every tree
He killed him a b'ar when he was only three

"Ballad of Davy Crockett" - Fess Parker (probably not the artist you were looking for, but he did the version on one of my Disney compilations)

11. You said the way my blue eyes shined,
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said: "That's a lie"
Just a boy in a Chevy truck,
That had a tendency of gettin' stuck,
On backroads at night

"Buddy Holly" - Weezer

12. You think you're so bad
Drive the women folk wild
Shoot 'em all down
With the flash of your pearly smile
Honey, but you met
Your match tonight, oh, that's right

"Buddy Holly" - Weezer

I can't believe I missed yesterday's game. I got an unexpected assignment at the end of the day and wanted to get it done overnight. Damn work!

I also forgot to mention what a great game the video art one was. I had some formatting issues with tags and forgot to add in a comment once I got them sorted out.
